The Kamalō Sugar Plantation was founded by Irish-born businessman [[John C. McColgan]] (1814-1890) in 1873. In July of that year, he was reported to have leased a 4,000-acre tract of land from the late King [[Kamehameha V]]'s estate that was located between [[Kaunakakai]] and [[Kalua‘aha]]. The mill and plantation were managed by McColgan's cousins, the Irish-born brothers [[Hugh McCorriston]] (1836-1926) and [[Daniel McCorriston]] (1840-1927). <ref name="1880Directory" /><ref name="NewPlantation">{{cite news |title=New Sugar Plantation. |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/27029967/john_mccolgan_start_of_kamalo/ |accessdate=10 June 2019 |work=The Hawaiian Gazette |date=23 July 1873}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=1888: Husted's Directory of Honolulu and the Hawaiian Territory |date=1888 |publisher=George Bowser & Co. |location=Honolulu; San Francisco |page=496 |url=http://hdl.handle.net/10524/12272 |accessdate=10 June 2019}}</ref> |
